What game is this from?

Free ebook please

Is it called buzz switching because the buzz bullets were the first team to use this tactic in a big way?

this seems like bad offence. idk how hard it is to bracket that. no hate

3:58 that’s clearly a foul, my bad 😅🫢

certainly plenty of mistakes by the offense, or situations where they could have attacked the switches more effectively, but it's great defense and good examples of these two switches. ultimately that's what you're trying to do on defense, is put the O in uncomfortable situations and force them to adapt

3:11 a quick around fake followed by an easy io break and a seven cut from the dump would bust this open with momentum to the break side. surprised not to see it

I think each system has it's issues and none are prefect, but I think it would be better to have the observer/third party make the mistakes instead of potentially having a team/player abuse the rules to skew a game's result. Also even with observers, players can always agree to send it back, and everyone can use video. Having that third party gives an additional option, that players involved in the foul have to ask for, it is not forced on them. Kurt Gibson made an excellent video, exposing a big weakness with the Game Advisor system at WUC 2024, kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqGsgmqnfcp2edUsi=TzHOERFqth9Q22wP&t=246

i wanna talk about rules about boundry. since the defenders are always considered in-bound, and when two players make a play on a disk which is flying outside the boundry, the defender can run outside boundry and hit the disk or block the way of the offensive player. this looks very unfair. 2, I happended to see one scene, upon a stoppage, one defensive hided in the sideline, and ran out of nowhere to block the disk, which is technically not against the rules, but very tricky. so I think the rules shall clarify that. before the game starts or resumes, all players should be inbound; if a player is making a play on the disk, the player must jump from inbound.

❤❤❤ amazing

how much do you love travel

I like the cat.

Love your stuff, Hive. Should be exciting to watch team defense accelerate from this type of offense. I think we''ll see more of the high-risk high-reward style of baiting and switching with improved team defense. You may see more teams trade not getting roasted for a higher likelihood of generating a turnover. Handler rolls are more common team defense these days, but there's potential for even more switches downfield and during give and go's. I could see teams having switch calls for dropping a low-threat offender or even swapping the force. Some kind of secret communication for "I am selling out for the under, please help me if I get roasted deep". Or "my player is in a give and go, I'm going to try and take away the next throw and delay setting my mark". Or a secret call for "they're dancing in the open side and I'm getting cooked, swap the force to disrupt that lane of attack". Imagine on a dump-swing after the sideline mark gets broken... instead of the dump defender trying to rush to set the mark, the swing defender goes to set the mark on the dump and then the dump defender goes to play defense on the swing. It sounds ridiculous but it would be unexpected and eliminate a free breakside look forcing the offense to win a brief 2v2 zone look. 👀

To stop a good offense in ultimate is hard. I think to stop truck stop, you need to take away the continue and play on your toes. Everyone needs to play honest defense.

at 6:43 that's a big travel that definitely helps him out because it puts his mark completely out of position to try and put pressure on that throw

7:41 The vertical stack is exactly like a basketball set play. I think pre-9th edition UPA (when I started playing) there was a lot more downtime after turnovers, so it made sense to have a starting point for everybody. The handler would have time to stroll up and stand over the disc to call plays, the rest of use would shuffle into position and play would commence. Add to this the factor that dreaming up set plays is more fun than running drills, or whatever, so team captains (very few coaches in the game back then) would produce a book of a dozen or so plays we'd memorize.

2:43 All travels affect play because the thrower needs to be balanced and in position to throw. If he can't do this without walking, he's gained an advantage. In this case, he takes a step back to start his give-go cut early. Lastly, it's not fair to put defenders in the position of deciding which travels to call.

They are really good!

On the first turn I agree that the bracket switch helped get the D but Valencerina breaks stride and slows down to a near stop to try to clap catch the disc in the gut. That is an egregious mistake for a player at this level to be making. If she had powered through or even extended to rim catch Cartagena is never able to make the layout D. On the second turn I don't see how that can be attributed to defensive play. Dione drops a disc middle torso height disc she gets two hands on. What I'm curious about now is how did Columbia knock Canada so out of tune in the 4th game of the tournament? Errors like this don't come out of nowhere.

Now lets remove the pick rule

False, the best move in ultimate is the stall 1 hammer

Great and useful video, thank you!

To me, this is a great illustration of why the handlers in a 3-4 offensive structure shouldn't float downfield like this. Torres wouldn't be able to easily poach the lane if Parker (#87) was even with the disc instead of 7 yards upfield. That poach would have left the swing wide open. Contrary to what the script says, the second possession demonstrates how better spacing makes it harder to poach effectively. The bracketing really didn't have anything to do with the completely unforced turnover.

Grajales wasnt working with Torres, was working with Rico. 🤩

this is great analysis and pointing out the team practice of pivoting inside to attack the breakside is awesome. I'm absolutely gonna try and implement this.

i agree, that switching is ideally better, if the switch matchup is ok, but sometimes, its such a vertical reach mismatch, or speed mismatch that the pick call is just better, if they give it to you.

The first turn by Germany I'd a defensive foul. The attacking player is cutting up line, straight, and the defensive player changes direction to lunge in front. It's also dangerous because the attacking player has no way to avoid the contact once the defensive player lunges

Honest question: It seems like almost every one of her throws in this clip is a travel (changing direction, throwing after third point of contact, etc.) - since, as the video discusses, this is obviously giving her an advantage - why is no one calling travel?

Simultaneous catches in the end zone are fundamentally different than simultaneous catches anywhere else, and as such, it makes absolutely perfect sense to treat them differently, both from simultaneous catches elsewhere, but also any other rule that treats offense and defense equally. A score in Ultimate is defined as a successful possession of the disk in the opposing team's end zone. The disk being in both teams possession does not change the fact that the disk is in the offensive side's possession in the opposing team's end zone. Even if you argue both teams possess the disk, the offense possesses the disk, in the opposing team's end zone. So since the defense failed to prevent this possession from happening, it's a score. Per se. This is in line both philosophically as well as in practice, with pretty much every other end zone scoring type sport. This also removes any judgement call re: the rules and whether or not a score occurred. I agree the no pick rule is dumb, and pointless, and should be eliminated in its entirety. It made sense when the game first started, informal games amongst friends, on often tiny, impromptu fields, sometimes even paved parking lots or other potentially dangerous surfaces, where collisions could easily have serious consequences. It makes little to no sense in the modern era, with much more serious athletes, on relatively huge fields of play, often turf, where such rules are entirely unnecessary. Rather, a set of much more specific offensive interference and contact calls, especially dependent on proximity, would make far more sense. More in line with football and basketball. But the number one pointless, totally arbitrary, and IMO counterproductive rule, is the no disk stalling/ tipping rule. Allowing disk stalls (stalling/delaying the disk, NOT the game!) would open up potentially spectacular running plays, liven up the game, and make it more exciting (though I could accept a ("no scoring on a running stall" rule). The no tipping rule it just plain dumb. Both rules are entirely arbitrary, chosen for no particular logical reason, at the birth of the game, serve no real purpose, and IMO detract from the excitement of the game.

For some reason I thought a defender-on-defender pick required both defenders to be close to different offensive players.

0:44 -- she also does a great job of staying in the window between two defenders, making the throw as easy as possible for her teammate. Great level of awareness.

seems like the players upfield, who got broken through arent putting the effort to try and actually catch up to the play 😂

6 defenders behind the disc at multiple times - why not just throw deep and score?

Travel on the first move: either her left foot is her pivot foot and she changes direction before setting it or her right foot is and she lifts slightly before throwing

When my partner and I got invited to a Frisbee game, we actually practiced before we went. This is how we instinctively practiced, not knowing the rules. It's such an obvious change and I'm glad it finally got implemented

If you're not poaching, you're not defending. At high levels, 1v1 the offense will win every time. This is probably what I would call "old school" style poaching - implying that you're clearing but also assuming the open side throw is still coming next from someone else. The thrower will frequently mentally discount you as their first look clears - freeing you up to scan for the next cut.

make traveling a turnover, for real. jump stop on a running catch if you have to.

This type of offense will only work outside of North America simply because of the different types of defense played (much more physical). A solid team that has good man/FSU fundamentals will be able to force the offense out the back of their own endzone.

Great breakdown!

Goaltimate is really going to blow his mind. We just gonna act like dillon freechild hasnt been doing this for a decade?

Accepting the diluted crumbled shadow of a sport if it fits in their logistics... It's the wrong way to go. That format isn't played anywhere. Why invent something for the olympics that will never be played again for 4 years? It doesn't make sense. The sport that should be showcased is the one that is played everywhere. 7's or nothing. Respect your sport and don't bend over for something you don't need. Ultimate will keep growing. No need to stress about it. Keep it fun for the players, not for the viewers.

😊

Always believe you can win a game, as to think otherwise is to invite defeat. Yes, believing becomes difficult when falling behind. And all of us have seen teams come back to win. It was a great game, regardless. As for this hammer, the receiver made a common error…he tried to catch an upside-down disc palm facing up. That means his thumb was the only digit to grasp the rim. Catchable, but much more difficult than palm down. Nice dive too.

Good

this is not the shredding content I was hoping for

Cool!

This is interesting... The value of turning inwards is critical. It can't be understated. My question is how was it a high stall count when 81 had the disk? He was unguarded for the first 5 seconds he held the disk. Then the marker initiated contact in the first 2 seconds of the count..If contact was called this would reset the count to 1... so either the stall count is on 2 or 4 when the disk was thrown on a poorly executed difficult inside-out throw. This seemed like it was more about a bad decision than turning inward. Additionally, #9 the dump option came back and toward the line, thus squeezing the lane for any good dump option.

1:20, cool stats 2:15, os upline throw to space 3:23, upline poach

DAMN! son ! nice to meet ya in the Toronto Airport! GOod luck this weekend!!
